Of course that would break the negotiated agreement and then we would have outages that everyone can bitch about!

Plus, Charlie would have even more lawsuits going on.

Exactly - it doesn't matter how users may find out about it or even if none used it, the fact that Dish could implement one, even as a 'back door', would make them fully culpable.Of course that would break the negotiated agreement and then we would have outages that everyone can bitch about!
As much as Charlie lives for those lawsuits, we might have a good chance at getting that function yet!
But...but...but...it's a bug that Dish is "actively" working on to fix...
With the PTAT being limited to 8 days max, a 7 day wait puts you in danger of missing something completely if you're not careful.
Not if you save series.... That puts the program in your space and will hold it until you delete it. As for why not wait a week, many programs are water-cooler conversation. If you're a week behind you live in spoiler hell.....
You can do a save and put in your My Recordings too and it will stay there untill you do something else with it.

Depends on how actively friends and co-workers might be watching the same programming and want to chit-chat about the shows (with or without "spoiler alerts")
Not that I personally run into that a lot, but I know a lot of co-workers who chat about shows from just the night before.
EDIT:...yeah...what Bobby said above. Didn't see his post prior to mine.
Personal preference for many - nothing more.
You might think Dish would adjust that keep time given the current situation with 3 of the 4 big networks that fall under PTAT ... unless they know that it's not that big of an issue to the majority of customers (only a small # wait until Autohop is available to watch).
Just a side note, but PTAT is still stored in "our" space. Before I dropped locals, our used DVR space was always in the 60% range. After dropping locals, PTAT no longer works, and once everything fell out of the PTAT 'folder', our space usage dropped down to the 30% range and has stayed there.
I should have added that Dish wouldn't advertise they did this and the networks would possibly only discover this after it was exploited and someone brought it to their attention. They will scream but Dish could simply say it's an apparent bug and they're looking into it.
The second bluegras found this 'backdoor' he would have it all over the internet and it would be gone in 2 seconds. He would find this in 2 seconds as well, so, 4 seconds and it is gone!
Autohop doesn't require PTAT (at least not 100%). By that, I mean...
- Autohop remains functioning after the PTAT time limit (if saved manually, as described above)
- Autohop works on channels that aren't PTAT'd, it only requires at least (1) day and (1) network to be enabled
- Autohop works on shows recorded on the OTA tuner
- Autohop works on shows recorded on channels outside of the big-4 networks (this is rarer, but can happen)
